Fiber stippling: An illustrative rendering for probabilistic diffusion tractography

This is a novel and effective method for visualizing probabilistic tractograms within their anatomical context. This illustrative rendering technique, called fiber stippling, is inspired by visualization standards as found in anatomical textbooks. These illustrations typically show slice-based projections of fiber pathways and are typically hand-drawn. Applying the automatized technique to diffusion tractography, it is possible to demonstrate its expressiveness and intuitive usability as well as a more objective way to present white-matter structure in the human brain.
